Indiana`s NCAA Tournament hopes are uncertain after a Big Ten loss, while Colorado State secures an automatic bid.

Indiana is on edge as Selection Sunday approaches, following a disappointing exit from the Big Ten Tournament. The Hoosiers are currently projected as one of the last teams in or out of the NCAA Tournament, with an average seed of 11.2 according to bracketmatrix.com. Their fate hangs in the balance, and fans are anxiously awaiting the announcement.

In contrast, Colorado State has secured its spot in the tournament by clinching an automatic bid after defeating Boise State 69-56 in the Mountain West Tournament. This victory not only solidifies Colorado State`s position but also complicates the at-large bids for teams like Boise State and San Diego State, who are now left to sweat out their chances.

Meanwhile, traditional powerhouses North Carolina and Texas are also feeling the pressure after suffering losses that could jeopardize their tournament hopes. In a thrilling Big Ten matchup, Maryland was eliminated by Michigan in a nail-biting 81-80 finish, further shaking up the tournament landscape.

As the NCAA Tournament selection process nears, the stakes couldn`t be higher for these teams, with every game and every point counting towards their postseason aspirations.
